It seems like reading comprehension is not what it used to be.

“Much like” == “very similar too” AKA, “close, but no cigar”

You wouldn’t compare something to the same something, that’s kind of the point of comparisons.

Ventrillo and Teamspeak as well

I didn’t realize it was possible to host your own backend locally… I thought it was just hosting the webUI locally.

Jumping from one proprietary system to another isn’t really an improvement.

I’m hopeful that the non-ultra version will be compact… But what else will they remove to make it not so ultra?

Nah babe, I never said that, you must be tripping.

I use Google Fi as well but I’ve questioned the purpose of carrier bonding/switching since T-Mobile and Sprint merged. As far as I know US cellular is the only other network that Fi uses. Correct me if I’m wrong.

When you get a 502 it usually means that your reverse proxy is unable to connect to your backend server. I’m not sure if you’ve obfuscated the URL in your post but 0.0.0.0 is not a valid IP (it just means ALL IPs). If you are attempting to connect on the same machine that is hosting use 127.0.0.1. if you are on the same network then use the local IP.

You can do this with a site-to-site wireguard VPN. You will need to set up the proper routing rules on each termination. On the Internet facing side you will want to do DNAT (modifies destination, keeps source) to redirect the incoming traffic to your non- internet facing side through the tunnel. Then on the non- internet facing you need to set up Routing rules to ensure all traffic headed for public IPs is traversing the tunnel. Then back on the Internet facing side you need to SNAT (modify source, keep destination) the traffic coming through the tunnel headed for the Internet. Hopefully this helps. People saying this goes against standards are not really correct as this is a great application for NAT.

Maybe not the lowest power possible… I wouldn’t recommend running your NAS on a raspberry pi even though plenty of people do

I’ve got a 3800x that has plenty of performance but also uses a lot of power and I’m seriously considering upgrading to a 5700G. It’s about 170 from Amazon right now.

Also, I don’t think you’re going to want your NAS to sleep/standby, that’s really not typical.

I wonder if this is the cause for the UI failing and showing a white page with “server error”. It has something to do with a failure to retrieve the site icon and if postgres is crashing that could explain why lemmy-ui is failing to retrieve the site icon.

My current “fix” for this is a script that runs every 10 minutes and sets the site image to NULL, curls the site URL, then sets the site image back to what it was. This does seem to work around the problem and if the UI does crash it’s only down for a maximum of 10 minutes.

Very nice walkthrough. Gonna bookmark this.

Some of the alternative web-UIs let you do that. Photon for sure and I think Alexandrite as well.

Port 8080 is where the Web-UI / Web-API is running. If you want to be able to upload data and not just leech you need to forward port 6881 (and probably also tell QBT to listen on that port)

Since 0 comes before 1 you’re probably gonna need to rename the files and possibly the metadata as well. Probably gonna need a custom numbering scheme to do what you want to do.

For a VPN I picked privateinternetaccess (PIA) because it has port forwarding and I got a deal on a 5 year subscription for a one-time payment of $75.

Then keep it in the politics and news communities, and don’t be surprised when you are kicked. You don’t go protesting at the KKK meeting expecting to change minds just like you don’t try to go to !politics@lemmy.ml expecting to change minds. If you are looking for real discussion then don’t go to a community that is hostile to the discussion you want to have.

If you don’t insert politics into normal conversations and you value relationships more than you value being right (left) then this should not be an issue.

Stay away from the political communities and don’t feel like you need to correct people when they spout out political bullshit.

That’s good news. Hopefully they’ll get let you change your avatar in that new UI because that’s one of the weirdly missing Photon features.
